EXTENSION

We were asked to extend our duty until March 15 due to the lack of manpower..the fact that a number of senior agents were resigning already gave a hard time to the airport manager, thus requesting us to extend our stay at the airport. However, some of my friends already ended their 600-hour OJT and were not permitted to extend anymore. For the remaining five of us (all girls of UST), we got no excuse because we still got around 70 hours to complete. We were told not to report during nonflight days where we do nothing at the office. Instead, we were requested to report during flight days, when we were actually needed. The moment this thing was brought up during the briefing, the new employees to work for the company already arrived. I wondered why we were still extending when they've got new workers already. Then, I realized that they weren't that well-trained yet about the nooks and crannies of the operations, which will be a difficult time for all of them since they're still on their adjustment stage. They still needed someone like us to help them in simple things like going upstairs just to get some documents or radios, bag tagging, queuing, checking the weight of baggage, etc. So, without the student trainees, it would be a hard time for them because they got nobody to request some simple orders.

Anyway, lots of issues were discussed by us students regarding this matter. I wanted to stop, though. But, it's a good thing to share, too. I just wanted to release some of my bitterness over this experience.

We were even worried with our grades. I told them it's alright for me to receive no incentive for this extension as long as I'll have a good grade. I'm still bitter over the fact that I NEVER cheated with my work posts..unlike "some" who just choose not to do their work just because they didn't want to. Then, they get all the credit and appreciation because they're always like "in front of the crowd"..I call this act as "pabibo"..this was really unfair for us who exert much effort in doing our assigned tasks. Whenever I think of this, I just tell my close friends that God knew that we did our best, that we never cheated. This thought always gives me peace of mind whenever someone cheats that makes it unfair to me on the other hand. God knows every thing that I do. He knows everything.

Hmm..so much for this topic. Just wanted to share my "bitter" thoughts, lol. What I was just about to share that today was, I'm trying to do something productive today. I'll be creating my resume and CV and I'll try to find jobs already. I'm excited for the next big thing God will show me.:D
